Record imported by Configuration Package vs Direct Entry

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 5

Hi, 

I'm trying to identify in a DataTable's records - which ones were imported by configuration package, and which ones were entered directly through a page. Is there any sort of audit trail for these? 

For example, Table 15 G/L Account, if I want to know which ones are created through the Chart of Accounts page, and which ones are created though configuration package import and apply, is there any audit trail that can differentiate the 2?

Much appreciate any answers!

    Hi,

    you can inspect element either from help icon in business central or from the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F1 all table(Standard and Customized) in business central have the below mentioned five fields these are system fields so you won't see these in the vs code directly.

    1. $systemId (2000000000, GUID)
    2. SystemCreatedAt (2000000001, DateTime)
    3. SystemCreatedBy (2000000002, GUID)
    4. SystemModifiedAt (2000000003, DateTime)
    5. SystemModifiedBy (2000000004, GUID)

    Hi Summer X ,

    You will find those two fields are already available for each Datatable in the BC, try to use "Inspect Page" and those stores and created with that Datatable only,

    The 'SystemCreatedBy', 'SystemModifiedBy' fields are not in the DataTable 15. Wondering where these fields are stored?

    No marker placed on the data per day. You might be able to tell from the usercreatedby value if specific users tend to use configuration packages over those that manually add:

    you also have the added possibility of adding/modifying on mass with edit in excel too. In the case of configuration packages you could use a lesser used field as a marker to verify configuration package was used. “No. 2” would be one of those fields.
